Uniform Update

We are looking forward to welcoming students back to Horbury Academy next week. As a reminder Year 7 and Year 11 should attend at 8.30am on Tuesday 4th September, with all other years from 8.30am on Wednesday 5th September.

You will be aware that the Academy has made some changes locally to its policy on uniform and that this comes into effect on Tuesday 4th September. Following all of your efforts uniform suppliers have been very busy over the summer, and we are aware that some parents are awaiting orders to be fulfilled by uniform suppliers. As such, we would like to reiterate that no sanctions will be issued at the start of term in relation to uniform where parents and students are awaiting unfulfilled orders. You will be aware that the academy has agreed to adopt an amnesty period that has already been communicated widely with both students and parents around the changes in terms of expectations. However, should a student be wearing uniform that clearly falls outside of the expectations of the policy, clarification will be sought which would in most cases include contact with parents in order to seek to support and resolve any matters arising.

Horbury Academy is an academy supported by (and a trading name of) Accord Multi Academy Trust, a Charitable Company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales (company number 07484308) whose registered office is at Storrs Hill Road, Ossett, West Yorkshire, WF5 ODG.

If, as a parent of a student attending this academy, you require a paper copy of the information on this website, we shall provide this free of charge. Please contact reception to request this.
